Quantitative Analysis of Some Major Phytochemicals and Determination of Elements from Ampelocissus Latifolia (Roxb.) Planch

Authors(2) :-Theng K. B., Korpenwar A. N.

Quantitative analysis of Ampelocissus latifolia tuberous root was carried out to identify phytoconstituents such as total alkaloid, flavonoids, saponin and terpenoids by standard method. Quantitative estimation was shown that Ampelocissus latifolia tuberous root powder contained alkaloid: 9.6%, flavonoids: 8.14%, terpenoids: 5.23% and saponin: 13.58%. Elements analysis of ethanolic soxhlet extracted powder of Ampelocissus latifolia tuberous root was carried out by using ICP-AES technique, showed the presence of total 24 elements such as Al, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hf, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Sc, Sr, Ti, V, Y, Yb and Zr. Quantitative analysis of six elements was showing their concentration as Fe = 0.051 ppm, Mg = 0.045 ppm, Al = 2.06 ppm, K = 0.49 ppm, Ca = 0.09 ppm and Cr = 0.00009 ppm. Elements obtained during XRD analysis was also supported the ICP-AES result. Element content is depending on various factors such as the climate, location of plant specimen and soil composition in which plant grows. Presence of various phytocompounds and elements in tuberous root indicates the promising potential of this plant in medicine.
